16 Tk News-Review, Roieburg, Of. Frl., Aug. 13, 1954 American Car Makers Set For Exciting, Important New Model Debut Shortly By Harry Elliott Nws Ssrvie American car makers are get. ting set for what promise to be one of the moat exciting and im portant new model debut seasons in automotive history. The parade of new car shows is scheduled to begin in October, probably with the offerings of one of the smaller manufacturers. These new offerings mark the cul mination of literally years of prep aration the end product of con centrated work by the industry's keenest engineers, stylists and production experts. The stakes are billions of consumer dollars the greatest buying potential in the world market. This year it looks like the auto Crasp These BARGAINS Our trade in allowances are terrific on those Beautiful Exciting; 1954 Sfude bakers. Come in and find out for yourself.

KEEL MOTOR CO. 443 N, Jackson Ph. 3-7422 boys are really loaded and going all out to win consumer favor. And the consumer is the favored one right now in dealer show rooms. The cleanup period of 'M models gives John Q. and excel lent chance to save himself some monev. Last year many dealers tried to buv all the 1953 models they could, long after the arrival of the 1954's. In some cases during the new car introduction, dealers reported more sales of the previ- ous year's model than of the new I one. me consumer is learning that there is, during the clean-up, ; a big savings advantage in buy ing rattier than waiting for new models which are always hard to get immediately, until production gets into full swing. The used car market has firmed up considerably, with many deal ers reporting low inventories. This also makes for advantageous trad ing now. New Features In 1955 Models On the 1955 cars, overhead valve V-8 engines are expected to be offered by most makers includ ing some major holdouts, and there is a rumble that a new en- I gine may also be offered by Arner- ican Motors Corp., (the new con solidation of Hudson and Nash) i but that is strictly at the rumor level. Wrap-around windshields may be expected to be almost standard in the industry, giving improved visibility forward and, it is hoped increased safety. Look for changes in automatic transmissions to ' give greater oomph on the getaway,, increased smoothness and better handling, FIRST S flit ft TUESDAY ST 17 AUGU p. trn.

There will be fresh emphasis on front-end suspensions and easier rides. Partly in sequel to the bard-hitting advertising of Ford, Mercury and Lincoln on their new ball-joint suspension. Chrysler Changeover Chrysler Corporation is expect ed to be closed down both earlier and longer this year. They are uniting inventory with a giant changeover. The changeover in cludes new body styling for the whole line Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge and Plymouth, plus dra matic and widespread changes. Lots of new equipment is involved with shifting of conveyors and machines. However, -this vear'i switch is expected to be orderly, with plenty of time for cleanup o present stocks. Car Output So far this year, some 3,300,000 passenger cars have been built. The industry is still aiming at 1954 total of around 5,250,000. The output of new vehicles for t h first six months of this year has been topped, in a similar period only three times in auto history. The Gas Turbine Engine Do not put off purchase of a new car in the expectation of get ting a revolutionary gas turbine model soon. There is a lot of solid research and testing going on, but nobody can put a date on when turbines will power passenger cars. Present piston type engines, year by year, are being pushed to new highs in power and perform ance, efficiency and durability. And, at the present stage of tur bine development, the piston type engine appears to have a tremen dous margin over the turbine in fuel economy, particularly at low engine loads the situation most motorists face most of the time. This is how the gas turbine en gine works: great quantities of air are taken in and compressed. The compressed air is mixed with fuel in a combustion chamber, where the mixture is ignited. This sends hot gasses at high speed against a turbine which produces the power. This power turbine Is much like the turbine in an au tomatic transmission, with the re sult that no transmission is needed In a gas-turbine, except for re verse. As of today, turbine costs are high. Materials to withstand high have tested a gaa turbine that heats are costly. But there race on a race of research which may come up with turbines for 50,000,000 drivers who wouli! like: (1) High power in a light, compact package. (2) Ability to burn any clean fuel from stove oil to airplane gas. (3) Great rugjjed ness, low maintenance, long life, extreme smoothness, and 80 per cent fewer parts. (4) Fast, easy cold-weather starting. (5) No more tune-ups. (6) Top turning power at stalling speeds. General Motors already has thousands of miles of test driving and more than 1,000 hours of dyna meter testing on two versions of Its "whirlfire" gas turbine one for truck and bus use, and the oth er for the XP-21 firebird. The big turbines appear super smooth, easy to maintain, very rugged, and fast to start. But they use a lot of fuel and are hard on brakes. However, new alloys offer hope in boosting op erating temperatures so that heat exchangers can recover some of the exhaust heat thereby out ting down on fuel. Meantime, Chrysler engineers fits in a Plymouth chassis the first to go in a conventional pas senger car and which has a heat exchanger that gets heat from exhaust gases and puts it back to work in the turbine. And Packard has won a con- DROWNS IN DITCH SALEM W Tommy Schwalk, g, drowned in a ditch a mile east of Salem Tuesday when he stepoea into a deep hole while wading.
